Reynolds American Inc. was formed in 2004 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange the same year.

In 2004 the U.S. business of British American Tobacco (Brown & Williamson) was combined with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company under the R.J. Reynolds name.

At the time, the two companies were the second and third largest U.S. tobacco companies.

When combined, R.J. Reynolds became a subsidiary of Reynolds American, along with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, the manufacturer of American Spirit.

In 2006 the company expanded the smokeless tobacco with the acquisition of Cornwood, the second-largest smokeless tobacco company in the United States.
